We’ve been trying continually to see how we can shave our spending, seeing as we are on one income many weeks. I decided to work out if our cats are fat and could do with cutting down on the eating a bit. After all everyone in the family should make sacrifices during hard times. Some studies have estimated that from 25-40% of cats worldwide are overweight so it was highly possible my lovelies fell into that category Biscuit snacks can lead to fat cats – Obesity – NZ Herald News . Seemingly male cats should weigh between 4.53 -4.98kg and females 2.49-3.49kg. So I grabbed the first cat that turned up to dinner (usually a good sign of the best candidate for obesity) and dragged a rather bemused male off to the bathroom scales – 4.6kg – damn, more of a flat cat than a fat cat. Oh well it was worth a try, perhaps we could train our hunter cat to become a cat burglar so he can bring in items a little more valuable than mice……?
